Hello Kitty Friends Match (Mobile)
Hello Kitty and all her friends have been sucked into a magical portal and end up in an abandoned fairy village. Help Hello Kitty use a new magic wand to rebuild the village. She needs star power to use the wand, so solve match three puzzles to earn stars to build the village. Hello Kitty Friends Match is a free-to-play mobile game, but reviewed on iPad here.
Cornhole Hero (Mobile)
I didn’t even know what “Cornhole” was until a few months ago. Sounds like an insult or what Beavis says when he has too much sugar or caffeine. But no, it’s a game where you throw bean bags on a board and try to get them to land on it or in a hole. I think we played something like this at elementary school fairs and such. But what if Cornhole was popular enough in the 70s and 80s to warrant making an Atari 2600 game out of it? Because you know they would. Well now you can see what that’s like with Cornhole Hero, a free-to-play mobile game (reviewed on iPad here).
The Games of Capcom Fighting Collection 2
Game maker Capcom is known for lots of things, like Mega Man, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, etc. But probably what they are known best for is their large roster of fighting games, such as Street Fighter. They did a collection of them a few years ago, plus one last year that had all their Marvel games on it. And now they’ve got another one with even more fighters! So let’s take a look at the games on this collection.
Starlight Legacy (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Back when I was a teen during the 16-bit days, I loved RPGs. And with games like Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger, who could blame me? I just couldn’t get enough of them. Nowadays I’m not really into modern RPGs, but I’ll take notice anytime someone makes a throwback 16-bit style RPG. Such is the case with Starlight Legacy. As the story goes, many years ago a kingdom was at war and the sky people were forbidden to use magic after it was over. But many years have passed and the sky people think that they should use magic again, so a separatist group sets out to attack the life giving Eternal Tree. But are the separatists taking things too far, and is the king really doing the right thing by continuing to uphold that anti magic law? That’s what you and two other warriors will find out in this 16-bit styled RPG adventure. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Knight’s Night! (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
A knight must stop an evil wizard from doing something…evil in Knight’s Night! It’s a retro inspired 2-D precision platformer with black and white graphics that remind me of the games I used to play on my old Apple ][+ computer. It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Sunseed Island (Switch, PS4, PS5)
On a small island grows a tree of life. Animals sprout from this tree with little symbols dangling from their heads that gives them their job. Everyone is happy with this until one day the tree starts wilting. The last animal to come from that tree is a little cat with a sun symbol on top of its head. You play as that cat as you farm, fish, forage, and help out your neighbors as you try and restore the tree to its former glory in this simple farming sim. Sunseed Island is available on Switch and PlayStation consoles, but reviewed on Switch here.
Moe Waifu H: Push-Box (PS4, PS5, Switch, PC)
I don’t know what “Moe” means, but isn’t “Waifu” what you hook your internet up to? Just joking! I know it means like a pretend girlfriend or something. Anyway, in this game you solve block pushing puzzles while unlocking outfits for anime ladies. Moe Waifu H: Push-Box is available on current PlayStation consoles, Switch, and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Submarine Survivor (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
For someone who has never played Vampire Survivor, I sure have reviewed lots of clones of it! I’ve reviewed ones with cats, frogs, and even wizards. And now here’s one with submarines! The creatures of the ocean have become monstrous and violent due to toxic waste, and it’s up to you to pilot your cute little submarine to shoot them and save the day. Submarine Survivor is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.
